Silver in the Bone by Alexandra Bracken | Hachette UK

Tamsin Lark has always been a Hollower, a treasure hunter, and when rumours swirl about a powerful ring from Arthurian legend that can break her brother's curse, she embarks on her deadliest hunt yet. Why do stories, legends, and lore about King Arthur remain popular over so much time? What do we love about them? April 2023: did I know that a special & signed copy was gonna arrive in my April Fairyloot box? Yes I did. Did I still scream when I saw the signed copy in a bookstore near me and give them my money immediately? Yes. Yes I did. Tamsin and Cabell’s relationship drastically changes once Tamsin begins to question her judgment on what’s best for Cabell and Cabell trying not to feel like a burden or a cruel puzzle to solve. Families can talk about the violence in Silver in the Bone. Is it too much? Does it matter if it's in the real world or the fantasy world? Is reading about it different from seeing it in movies, games, or other visual media?in this arthurian-inspired fantasy, tamsin struggles as a thief and with taking care of her cursed younger brother. her rival, emrys, suggests that a powerful ring could break cabell’s curse, but they’re far from the only ones going after it. I know people have hot takes when it comes to urban fantasy, but i've always really enjoyed it. I love how the characters were slowly introduced and as you go...you grasp the world building right alongside the main character. The search for mythical objects and the fight to break a deadly curse was done really well. El último libro que leí de ella fue Lore, un libro que os recomiendo mucho porque es increíble, si en esa ocasión nos mostraba un mundo mezclado con la mitología griega en esta ocasión nos vamos al mito del rey Arturo. Most characters read as White. A minor character has brown skin, and beings in the fantasy realm have amber and green skin. Main character is a strong female lead, and a group of nine strong women work together to lead a community.

You always seem to assume the worst,” he said, “and you expect everyone else to do the same. But all you’re really doing is punching at phantoms the rest of us can’t see.” I also found the world quite hard to be enveloped in...I was looking for that completely immersed feeling, and I didn’t get it. OMG! This is absolutely one of my favorite works of the author! The opening lured me enough to keep my interest intact, the entire execution was engaging, entertaining, promising! The characters are likable, magic system and world building is well blended in the Isle of Avalon setting and King Arthur legend. This book!! This book!! I am obsessed and in love with Silver in the Bone! It was absolutely incredible! Silver in the Bone is the story of Tamsin, who was abandoned ten years ago by her foster father, and now only has her brother as a company while they both work breaking into crypts and tombs in search of treasures. When they have a chance to get something that could save her brother's life, and give them some hint about what happened with their guardian, they take it, without knowing all the dark secrets that are expecting for them.The characters also made it hard to get through...I didn’t like them for a large portion of the book. Tamsin Lark didn’t ask to be a Hollower. As a mortal with no magical talent, she was never meant to break into ancient crypts, or compete with sorceresses and Cunningfolk for the treasures inside. But after her thieving foster father disappeared without so much as a goodbye, it was the only way to keep herself—and her brother, Cabell—alive. A harrowing and heart-rending adventure about finding the courage to not be controlled by fear.”—J. Elle, New York Times bestselling author of Wings of Ebony

stars! I really enjoyed this story and world! It’s not an Arthurian retelling… it’s more a story that takes place in a world where Avalon and King Arthur and such are all real. Tamsin has no magic powers herself, but she has become a Hollower—hired hands to raid crypts of ancient sorceresses searching for powerful and valuable artifacts. After she and her brother Cabell were abandoned by the Hollower who raised them, she has done her best to take care of her brother and make a living. When Tamsin hears of a powerful and rare relic that can cure Cabell’s ever-worsening curse, she will to anything to find it.As a human with no magic, she never thought she’d be breaking into crypts and fighting sorceresses. but the thing is, i dont think its visible enough in this book. it uses the isle of avalon as a setting and the death of king arthur as a plot devise, but thats really it. to me, this doesnt feel like a story ingrained in arthurian myth, but rather one that just takes place in a world where arthurian mythology is a thing, if that makes sense. so i just wish there was more it.

The characters are properly done, all with their personalities and stories that made them very unique and interesting. However, the story makes something to one character that didn't resonate with me when it happened... but apart from that, I can say I connected with Tamsin and company most of the time.
